Your top 20 Neo titles?

[ResO]

The argument or discussion has been had many times about what 6 games would you choose for your six slot if you couldn't ever swap games, but let's leave a lot of headroom and make it 20.

Everybody give your top 20. Maybe why you made your choices whether it be nostalgia, gameplay or technicality. I know it's hard to rank your 20 favs in order, so feel free to shoot them out at random. It's fine to list games and their sequels under the same number if they're extremely similar (Puzzle de Pon/R, SamShoV/V Special etc.

So unbuckle your belts and lets see 'em, boys!

My 20 in no particular order:

1. King of Fighters 2003
2. MOTW
3. Samurai Shodown V/Special
4. Pulstar
5. Stakes Winner 1/2
6. Quest of Jongmaster
7. SVC Chaos (hit detection fixed boot)
8. Puzzle Bobble/Bust-A-Move 1/2
9. Money Puzzle Exchanger
10. Twinkle Star Sprites
11. Neo-Geo Cup '98
12. Breakers Revenge
13. Metal Slug 3
14. Neo-Bomberman
15. Ganryu
16. Blazing Star
17. Pochi to Nyaa~
18. Prehistoric Isle 2
19. King of Fighters 99
20. Kizuna Encounter

This was a tough list to make, even with 20 choices there's still more i'd love to list.

For reference, feel free to browse the MasterList and you'll find it very easy to fill in 20 slots.

20 seems like a lot, when most people are limited to 4 or less....

1: money puzzle
2: magical droop 3
3: ninja masters
4: breakers revenge
5: shock troops
6: blazing star
7: kof98
8: whp
9: twinkle star
10: samsho 4

I could probably whittle that down to a top 5 given enough time. A lot of neo games are fun but some just speak to you more than others and probably deserve your time.

 

[MySoberCompanion]

1) Metal Slug
2) Pulstar
3) Garou MotW
4) Kof'98
5) Blazing Star
6) Real Bout Special
7) Last Blade 2
8) Metal Slug X
9) Magical Drop 3
10) Neo Turf Masters
11) Kof'96
12) Kof'99
13) Samurai Spirits IV
14) Shock Troopers
15) Metal Slug 3
16) Puzzle Bubble
17) Last Resort
18) Soccer Brawl
19) Nightmare in the Dark
20) Sengoku 3

TBH, never tried Ninja Masters and I have to play seriously TSS. I played it lazily, and didn't get into the mechanics...

1. Metal Slug
2. Real Bout Special
3. Magician Lord
4. King of Fighters '99
5. Metal Slug 2/X
6. Shock Troopers
7. Cyber Lip

15. Pop n Bounce
16. Zupapa!
17. Aero Fighters 2
18. King of Fighters 96
19. Puzzle Bobble
20. Sengoku


I pretty much based my list on the amount of time games spend in my AES or CMVS, and I also tried to keep it to 2 of each series maximum.

Edit: I forgot Shock Troopers!

Just out of interest, bogard. Why Real Bout 1 & 2 but not special?

Just out of interest, bogard. Why Real Bout 1 & 2 but not special?

i'll have to say real bout 1 and 2 are my favourite games on the system. although i love real bout special, i didn't want to put all the real bout games in to my top twenty list. also to make room for other games.

[dspoonrt]

I think these would be my top 20, pretty much in this order.

1. Mark of the Wolves
2. Neo Turf Masters
3. Strikers 1945 Plus
4. Metal Slug
5. Breakers Revenge
6. Spinmaster
7. Money Puzzle Exchanger
8. Blazing Star
9. King of Fighters 98
10. Windjammers
11. Real Bout Special
12. Viewpoint

15. Shock Troopers
16. Neo Drift Out
17. NAM 1975
18. Super Sidekicks 3

I'd like to put Nightmare in the Dark, Twinkle Star Sprites, and Baseball Stars 2 on the list, since I love those games, but I'm not sure which ones I'd replace. And honestly, I think Knight's Chance would be very close to making this list. That game gets a lot of time in my cab.

[pepelegit]

Mostly just my favourites among the stuff I have (I haven't really bothered with emulation in years so there might be stuff I'd like more if I was more familiar with them), but there are a few standouts here that I've just not yet stumbled upon.
Aero Fighters 2
Baseball Stars 2
Blazing Star
Bust a Move
Garou: Mark of the Wolves
King of Fighters 98
Last Blade
Last Blade 2
League Bowling
Metal Slug
Metal Slug X
Neo Turf Masters
Panic Bomber
Samurai Shodown II
Samurai Shodown IV
Shock Troopers
Strikers 1945 Plus
Super Dodge Ball
Thrash Rally
Windjammers

EDIT: autocorrect made a mockery of my grammar, bleagh

 

[Tanooki]

8Man
Aerofighters 2
Aerofighters 3
Baseball Stars
Blazing Star

This would easily change as I dig more into the 161in1 I have and find something I really fall in love with but all this I own or enjoyed back in the arcade (and do own now) which would explain an odd choice like 8Man.
